Some American Women Who Have
 PrinceIY Fortunes.
 Hetty Green is credited with being the most of capitalist of her sex in the United States, writes New York correspondent. Her wealth would foot up from thirty-ive to forty million dollars suppose. She inherited thirteen million dollars, married one million and has made the rest by shrewd fnanciering Another clear-headed woman is Miss Eliza" beth Garrett, who must have twenty million dollars or more, and who knows how to take care of it. Mrs. Mark Hopkins is richer than Miss Green, though her neighbors, the village folk, are less enthusiastic about her than they used to be before she put up high fence or Chinese wall about that two million dollar palace of hers at Great Burlington. Mrs. Hopkins is not worth less than thirty or thirty-fv million dollars probably, and she too is noted for her charity. Mrs. Emily H. Moir the heir of the Morgan property, pays the largest personal assessment of any wo- man in New York, and Mrs. Sarah H. Green comes next to her. Mrs. John Jacob Astor has tidy sum of from seven to nine million dollars.
 Rich New York widows estimated at from one to five million dollars abound, and there are some hundreds of unmarried women un- der thirty who have from one hundred thou- sand dollars upward in their own name. Mrs. w. E. Dodge has invested her money we'll, and it amounts to five million dollars perhaps Commodore Vsnderbilt's widow has something more than double what her husband left her. Mrs. Robert Goelet and Clarkson Potter's widow are not poor. Miss May Calender must be worth 2 million The Misses Leary and the Misses Furniss of Fifth avenue have large incomes. Miss Adele Grant, who has been starring it with Miss Winslow for foil, has seven hundred thousand dollars or more. Mrs. Langtry has got above the one hundred thousand dollar mark.

THE COLOR LINE IN onIO.

The outbreak of race prejudice in Ohio is not very encouraging to those dwellers in the North who have been sharply criticising the Georgians who favored the Glenn bill. The last census showed that Ohio had but enc negro to every forty whites, and the last leg islature repealed the law which required the few colored children to attend separate schools. The new school year is just open- ing, and there is trouble.
 At Oxford, in Butler county, the feeling is very strong. Oxford is conspicuous for its educational institutions. Miami college, Ox- ford Female college and the Western Fe1nals seminary are there. Its colored population is small, the whole number of negroes in But Ter county, according to the census of 1880, being only LAO, against fl, ,435 whites. When the time came for opening the fall term of the public schools, and it was dis covered that colored children were to be seated beside white children in Oxford, the public, without distinction of party, rebelled. meeting, attended by about four hundred white men, was held and by an almost unan- imous vote instructed the board of education to withdraw the colored children from the building attended by the white children, a leading banker agreeing to stand between the board and harm in thus violating the law. unanimously resolved that 'fin compliance with the above request the superintendent be and is hereby instructed to assign the colored children to the north building tomorrow This having been done another meeting was held to express satisfaction over the action of the board Some colored men were bold enough to attend the meeting, and were greeted with cries of ''Rats D "Take him out, D etc. The chairman stasked the boys to be as quiet as possible, that while they had cause to feel jubilant they could at the proper time I4c Oe411rN0I had engaged to defend the school board made a speech in which he said: ''The colored peo- pie have the right of suffrage. More than this they cannot expect. AS for their social qual- ifcations there are few of us here ready for that question" Another speaker expressed himself highly satisfied to know that the children had been driven from the schools. :" And another prominent citizen talked as fol- lows: 1T don't want to be called upon, for l have kept out of this whole trouble. If was to express my opinion I would say that wouldn't allow nigger in the town. I won't harbor them in any form or about my place. I've no use for them" This speech was heartily applauded.
 This, it should be borne in mind, was not in the solid and "nigger hating" South, but in Republican Ohio. The more shame to 0hin

 Some things cost more ill England than they do here It cost great deal to do the work of the Pacific railroads in Congress, but in England an ordinary expenditure for this purpose is five thousand pounds mile. The Blackwall railroad paid for parliament tary expenses e14, 400 per mile, and the Southeastern company the great sum of e240, 900, or nearly million and quarter dollars. These amounts exceed those paid for like purposes by any American railroad.
 In spite of the congratulations of the Wo- mans Christian Temperance union at Chicago the managers of the coming national military encampment there have decided to permit the sale of liquors in the encampment park. One of the county commissioners has paid $10, GOO, or s1, 900 per day for the privilege of keeping a bar under the grand stand and an- other at the gate. A large number of appli- cations for licenses to open temporary sa- looms inst outside of the gates have been made and it is probable that they will be granted.

Want of Sleep

Is sending thousands annually to the Insane aSyiuln and the doctors sav-tn;s s<vSSiJfO- to cIIcaI yc. The usual remedies, while they may give temporary relief, are likely to do more harm than good. What is needed is an Alterative and Blood-purifier. Ayers SarsaparilIa is incomparably tie best. It corrects those disturbances in the circulation which cause sleepless- ness, gives increased vitality, and re- stores the nervous system to healthfu1 condition.
 Rev. T. G. A. Cote, agent of the Mass. Home Missionary Society, writes that lis stomach was out of order, his sleep very often disturbed, and some inn purity of the blood manifest; but that perfect cure was obtained by the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla.

 William F. Bowker, Erie, Pa., was cured of nervousness and sleeplessness hy taking Ayers Sarsaparilla for about two months, during which time his weight increased over twenty pounds Ayers SarsapariIla,
